Are you ready for a day of unfiltered, action-packed full-day networking and content in the heart of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE)? On Friday, November 8th, Puzl CowOrKing, in partnership with The Recursive and the region’s leading venture capitalists, will be hosting an unforgettable event at Puzl CowOrKing Budapest. With a mix of curated talks, mentoring, investor meetings, and, of course, a legendary evening party, this event promises to be the networking highlight of the season.
Why This Event Stands Out
Networking is always one of the most exciting parts of any event. But what if we told you this gathering is designed to keep you in the networking flow all day long? From morning to midnight, this free event will be packed with valuable content, insightful conversations, and opportunities to meet your next co-founder, investor, or tech partner.
With an expected attendance of up to 400 startup enthusiasts, IT professionals, VCs, and ecosystem builders, this is your chance to rub shoulders with some of the biggest names in the CEE tech scene, including ProductHunt, Rakuten Viber, LAUNCHub Ventures, Credo Ventures, Eleven Ventures, Interactive Venture Partners, Obuda Uni Venture Capital, Oktogon Ventures, Fiedler Capital, Startup Hungary, Impact Ventures, Hungarian Business Angels Network, and more. Whether you’re a founder, an angel investor, or just looking to explore the ecosystem, this event will connect you with the people who are shaping the future of tech in the region.
What to Expect
The event will take place across 1,800 square meters of coworking space at the new Puzl CowOrKing location in Budapest, transforming this startup hub into a buzzing ecosystem. The daytime agenda (10:00 AM – 5:00 PM) includes:
- Keynotes and panels featuring insights from top VCs, founders, and ecosystem leaders
- VC office hours to discuss investment strategies and opportunities
- Speed mentoring with seasoned startup founders
- Masterclasses to help you upskill in key areas of tech and business
- Private meetings for meaningful one-on-one conversations
- Tech meetups co-organized by Hungary’s and Bulgaria’s top tech experts
- Podcasts and interviews hosted by The Recursive. If you’re interested in being invited as a guest for this or future editions, you can complete this form.
This is not your usual conference. It’s a hands-on, interactive event where you’ll have a chance to work, learn, and collaborate with key players from the CEE region. Plus, The Recursive’s very own Irina Obushtarova and Andrey Andonov will be on-site, hosting a live podcast and digging into the untold stories of the CEE startup world.
Grand Opening Party
After a full day of learning and networking, it’s time to unwind at Puzl CowOrKing Budapest’s official Grand Opening Party (7:00 PM – 12:00 AM). Hosted in a unique 1,000 sqm industrial setting, this evening promises live music, a surprise artist performance, and the chance to mingle in a relaxed, informal atmosphere.
Expect:
- Drinks and bites: Beer, cocktails, and snacks served throughout the night
- Music: Budapest-based DJs will keep the vibe alive
- More networking in a laid-back setting
It’s the perfect way to close out a productive day with your fellow startup community members.
